Charles Oliveira Predicts UFC Star Would Beat Conor McGregor

Charles Oliveira believes Mateusz Gamrot would beat Conor McGregor in a hypothetical fight, citing the Polish lightweight's wrestling skills.

Oliveira made the remark on Joyagear's Instagram, when asked about a potential matchup between Gamrot and McGregor.

The Brazilian has been exchanging words with McGregor in the media, keeping a potential lightweight storyline alive.

Oliveira's comment is striking, given McGregor's status as a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion.

Gamrot, on the other hand, has a 9-4 record inside the Octagon and has never fought for a UFC belt.

Oliveira submitted Gamrot with a rear naked choke in the second round of their October 2025 fight in Rio de Janeiro.

This victory may have given Oliveira the confidence to suggest Gamrot could handle McGregor through wrestling.

The fight between Gamrot and McGregor remains speculative, but Oliveira's words will fuel the sense that he sees McGregor as a name, not a threat.

Oliveira has rebuilt momentum by winning his last two fights and pushing towards another title shot.

McGregor is edging closer to a UFC comeback, making talk of a future meeting hard to ignore.

Gamrot's unbeaten professional run ended in his promotional debut, when Guram Kutateladze beat him by split decision in October 2020.

Since then, Gamrot has built a reputation as a relentless wrestler.

Oliveira's public stance on McGregor has been clear, and his latest remark is a surprising comparison involving a familiar opponent.

The contrast between Oliveira's momentum and McGregor's comeback has made talk of a future meeting difficult to ignore.
